I WAS UNTOUCHABLE

I was Untouchable
My emotions roped in place
Never feeling more than I wished to

I was Untouchable
But this disease,
This curse,
Crept into my body
Silently seeping into my skin
Wiggling into my veins
Overtaking my organs

I was Untouchable
Until she told me that she loved me

I was Untouchable
Until I realized that I loved her
